The "too low in the front" isn't the camera angle I don't think, it's probably just a result of the design of the w203 cars - in their infinite wisdom, MB's engineers designed the w203 with a substantially larger fender-wheel gap in the front than the rear.
Using lowering springs, you usually wind up with a correct body position, and a nice wheel gap in the front, but with the "tucked" look in the rear. With coilovers like PSS9's, you can dial out this bias and have an identical F&R fender gap - but then you're left with a car that definitely looks pitched forward. To my eyes, the fender gap on AirFrcd's car looks perfect

Agreed, think it looks good! (better than good, in fact).
